In message <3D8AAD25.E9C392D@attbi.com>, you write:
-> Hello,
->
-> Do I need to have a "pbus" device (and driver) as a child
-> of hpc0 for mouse/keyboard drivers on an Indy?
Yes, and right now neither exists...
-> Would the kernel config look somthing like this?
->
-> hpc0 at gio? addr 0x1fb80000
-> # HPC devices
-> pbus0 at hpc0 offset ?
-> pckbc0 at pbus0 device ?
It would if those drivers existed 8-)
-> Also, what is the IOC2?
The IOC is the integrated I/O controller which contains the keyboard/mouse
interface, serial interfaces, parallel interface, timers, an interrupt
controller, power/volume control, ISDN glue, ...
Previous to the Indy (ie, on the Indigo2), most of the IOC components were
discrete chips which were integrated for the Indy as a cost-reduction step.
See ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/doc/indy/ioc.ps for more info... There's
a bunch of other IP22 documentation there as well.
